have been completed against 652 to

offered in great variety and large

to rates and respecting the decisions of

affects investments in stocks, though
prices have improved a little. The
enormous supply of money goes far to
explain the situation. Not only has

doubtedly large amounts of foreign
capital are seeking employment here in
industries or in real estate loans be-
cause of the inadequate demand
abroad. While this state of things
continues and crop prospects grow
more favorable, the season of specula-
ton and expansion in trade and in

NEW YORK, May "A special from
Third Creek, N. G. says: Several
prominent physicians in the Salisbury
section some time since decided to ex-
hume the remains of Peter s. Ney for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
they are those of the famous Marshal
Ney of France. In 1915 Ney appeared
in this state. He taught school in
Iredell and Rowan Counties. Certain
facts about this singular man fixed the
belief in the minds of many people in
this neighborhood that he was really
Marshal Ney, in spite of the historical
fact that Ney was duly shot in Paris.
Among the pieces of evidence Marshal
Ney was this school teacher, was
this: A Frenchman from an
adjoining county who had been
q soldier under Marshal Ney, one day
recognized the school teacher as his
old commander and exclaimed, ''MOn
Dieu, Marshal Ney." Without dem
Onstration Ney called his name. COM
manding silence. Both men were af-
forwards seen In private conference.
The gentleman who nurged Peter Ney
said yesterday that Ney, while on his
death bed stated that he was Marshal
Ney and repeated 1t not an hour before
his death. In dressing him for burial
he found that Ney had been wounded
on the thigh, neck, side and wrist and
had large scar on his head. When
the grave was opened and the body ex-
humed, the bones were found in such
. state OF decay that experts could not
state positively whether the skull had
ever been trephined. On this point

The Pacinc Railroad investigation.


NEW YORK, May 5.-The examin-
alton of special counsel Artemus II.
Holmes of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company was continued before Com
missioners Patterson, Anderson and
Littler to-day. Commissioner Patter-
son asked who got possession of the
80 600, 900 of Kansas Pacific and the
81 600, 900 of Denver Pacific stock, but
Mr.. Holmes and he thought they simply
drifted back to their original owners of
Denver and Pacific stock. The Kansas
Pacific owned about $4,000, GOO worth,
but it had no independent value and
was only valuable, as it aided in
controlling connections between
Denver and Cheyenne. Under CONSOLE
dation Mr.. Gould or any other holder of
Kansas Pacific stock exchanged two of
its $50 shares for one 800 share of Union
Pacific stock, their values being about
the same in the market at that time.
The relative values of securities were
| fixed by arbitration of all the leading
parties at trife greater price than
their market quotation. "AS an induce
ment to holders to put them into the
pool as good investment" exclaimed
Mr.. Holmes. To MIR. Pattison Mr..
Holmes said he didn't think the effect
| Of consolidation was to load the Union
Pacific with two valueless roads be
| cause the Kansas Pacific had been q
good paying road ever since. This was
because under the consolidation the

Dry weather had delayed early vege-

the Indian dead. Mr.. Borland, owner
of the store, and his wife started for
Gallup at once on horseback, but had
not gone far when they were surround
ed by Indians armed with rifles, and
pistols, who accused Borland of killing
the Indian. The Indians were wild
and furious with excitement
but Mr.. Borland succeeded in quieting
them by giving up his weapons and
saying he had nothing to do with the
killing. Finally he and his wife were
permitted to continue their journey to

the upper story of the store to defend
themselves from an attack, but the
Indians broke into the store and rifed
